[0057] The following will describe the detailed implementation manners of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed implementation manners described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0058] It should be noted that the concepts such as "first" and "second" mentioned in the present disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order or interdependence relationship of the functions executed by these devices, modules or units.

[0059] Before introducing the detailed implementation manners of the present disclosure, first, the application scenario of the present disclosure will be described. In the development of modern technology, semiconductors have become an indispensable component, and semiconductor materials are widely used in various high-precision devices. In the manufacturing of semiconductor devices, different defects will be caused on the chip due to different process factors on the wafer, such as defects caused by incomplete processes, defects caused by dust particles, defects caused by mechanical damage, and liquid residues, etc. These semiconductor process defects will damage the finally obtained semiconductor devices. Therefore, it is necessary to detect and observe the defects to identify specific defect types and improve the process technology.

[0060] A defect detector is used to detect the defect position.

[0061] A defect observation instrument is used to further observe and analyze the defect according to the defect position.

[0062] In the related art, the defect position provided by the defect detector is given to the defect observation instrument to observe the wafer. When there are many defects on the wafer, it takes a long time to observe the defects at each defect position, which will reduce the semiconductor production efficiency.

[0063] To solve the above problems, by obtaining the measurement information of each chip on the wafer, an abnormal area on the wafer is determined according to the measurement information of each chip on the wafer; and a plurality of defect positions on the wafer determined according to a preset defect detection strategy are obtained; then a target defect position is determined from the plurality of defect positions according to the abnormal area to observe the defect. Determining the target defect position from the plurality of defect positions to observe the defect reduces the number of defect positions for defect observation, saves the time consumed for defect observation, thereby increasing the semiconductor production efficiency, and defect observation is also carried out through the target observation position determined by the abnormal area, which can also ensure the final result of defect observation.

[0064] The defect observation method can be applied to an electronic device, and the electronic device is connected to a measuring instrument, a defect detector, and a defect observation instrument.

[0065] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a defect observation method shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 1 shown, the defect observation method may include steps S1 to S3:

[0066] Step S1, obtain the measurement information of each chip on the wafer, and determine an abnormal area on the wafer according to the measurement information of each chip on the wafer.

[0067] According to the measurement information of each chip on the wafer and the preset measurement information, an abnormal area on the wafer is determined.

[0068] The measurement information may be thickness information, or may also be critical dimension (CD) information. The line width information is a key index after the lithography process and the etching process.

[0069] When the measurement information is thickness information, the detection instrument is a thickness detection instrument, and the thickness detection instrument can detect the thickness of each chip on the wafer to obtain the thickness information of each chip. Exemplarily, the thickness detection instrument may be, but is not limited to, a thickness gauge, a Raman spectrometer, an atomic force microscope, a Stokes shift instrument, etc. The user can use different instruments according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not make a limitation here.

[0070] The preset measurement information includes the standard thickness range corresponding to each chip on the wafer. If the measurement information of a chip is not within the standard thickness range, then the chip is abnormal, and the position where the abnormal chip is located is the abnormal area.

[0071] It should be understood that the standard thickness ranges corresponding to different chips on the same wafer may be the same or different, and this embodiment does not make a limitation here.

[0072] When the measurement information is line width information, the detection instrument is a line width detection instrument, which can detect the line width of each chip on the wafer to obtain the line width information of each chip. Exemplarily, the line width detection instrument can be, but is not limited to, a scanning electron microscope (CD-SEM).

[0073] The preset measurement information includes the standard line width range corresponding to each chip on the wafer. If the measurement information of a chip is not within the standard line width range, the chip is abnormal, and the position where the abnormal chip is located is the abnormal area.

[0074] The measuring instrument detects the measurement information of each chip on the wafer and transmits it to the electronic device. The electronic device obtains the measurement information of each chip on the wafer and compares it with the preset measurement information to determine the abnormal area on the wafer.

[0075] To improve production efficiency, the determination criteria for the abnormal area can be further improved. The area formed by connecting the positions of multiple consecutive abnormal chips whose number exceeds the preset number is regarded as the abnormal area, and the area formed by connecting the positions of multiple consecutive abnormal chips whose number is less than the preset number is not regarded as the abnormal area, and single and sporadic ones can also be ignored.

[0076] Step S2, obtain multiple defect positions on the wafer determined according to the preset defect detection strategy.

[0077] Step S3, determine the target defect positions from the multiple defect positions according to the abnormal area to observe the defects.

[0078] The defect detector detects multiple defect positions on the wafer according to the preset detection strategy and transmits them to the electronic device. The electronic device extracts a target number of target defect positions from the multiple defect positions and sends them to the defect observation instrument to observe the defects.

[0079] Determining the target defect positions from the multiple defect positions to observe the defects reduces the number of defect positions for defect observation, saves the time for defect observation, thereby increasing the semiconductor production efficiency, and defect observation through the target observation positions determined by the abnormal area can also ensure the final result of defect observation.

[0080] In a possible implementation manner, the preset defect detection strategy includes a first defect detection strategy and a second defect detection strategy. The first defect detection strategy can be a full detection strategy. For example, Figure 2As shown, where the white squares represent the chips to be detected. The second defect detection strategy can be a local detection strategy. For example, a 1 / 2 interval detection strategy, a 1 / 3 interval detection strategy, or a 1 / 4 interval detection strategy, etc. For example, Figure 3 An example of the 1 / 2 interval detection strategy is shown, where the white squares represent the chips to be detected and the gray squares represent the chips not to be detected.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 4 , step S2 may include step S21 and step S22:

[0082] Step S21, obtain, when the preset defect detection strategy is the first defect detection strategy, the multiple defect positions on the wafer determined by traversing and detecting each chip on the wafer.

[0083] The defect detector traverses and detects each chip on the wafer, detects whether there is a defect on each chip, and when there is a defect, transmits the defect position to the electronic device.

[0084] Step S22, obtain, when the preset defect detection strategy is the second defect detection strategy, the multiple defect positions on the wafer determined according to the abnormal area.

[0085] Obtain, when the preset defect detection strategy is the second defect detection strategy, the multiple defect positions on the wafer determined by traversing and detecting each chip in the abnormal area on the wafer and detecting the chips outside the abnormal area on the wafer at intervals.

[0086] The defect detector performs full detection on the chips in the abnormal area and performs interval detection on the chips outside the abnormal area, that is, traverses and detects each chip in the abnormal area on the wafer, detects the chips outside the abnormal area on the wafer at intervals, detects whether there is a defect on the chip, and when there is a defect, transmits each defect position to the electronic device.

[0087] By performing full detection on the chips in the abnormal area and interval detection on the chips outside the abnormal area, while saving the detection time, try to ensure that the defect problem is analyzed.

[0088] In a possible implementation manner, please refer to Figure 5 , step S3 may include step S31 to step S33:

[0089] Step S31, determine the proportion of the abnormal area on the wafer to obtain a first ratio value.

[0090] The first ratio value is the ratio of the area of the abnormal area to the area of the wafer.

[0091] Step S32: Increase the first ratio value to obtain a second ratio value.

[0092] The second ratio value can be obtained by increasing the first ratio value. The way of increasing can be, but is not limited to, adding a preset ratio value, increasing according to a preset multiple, etc.

[0093] Exemplarily, if the first ratio value is 30% and the preset ratio value is 20%, the second ratio value obtained by increasing the first ratio value according to the preset ratio value is 50%.

[0094] Exemplarily, if the first ratio value is 30% and the preset multiple is 2, the second ratio value obtained by increasing the first ratio value according to the preset multiple is 60%.

[0095] In other embodiments, the second ratio value can be set and the first ratio value can be adjusted to the second ratio value. For example, the second ratio value is 2 / 3.

[0096] Step S33: According to the second ratio value, extract a target number of defect positions from multiple defect positions to obtain target defect positions for observing defects.

[0097] The target number can be the actual number of defect positions for actual observation set by the user according to actual needs. The target number can be set directly or can be set according to multiple defect positions detected by a defect detector.

[0098] Exemplarily, the target number can be directly set to 100.

[0099] Exemplarily, if the total number of multiple defect positions detected by a defect detector is 300, 1 / 3 of them, that is, 100, is taken as the target number.

[0100] Extracting a target number of defect positions from multiple defect positions according to the second ratio value to obtain target defect positions for observing defects can be understood as obtaining a first quantity according to the second ratio value and the target number, and then obtaining a second quantity according to the first quantity and the target number. Extract the first quantity of defect positions within the abnormal area and extract the second quantity of defect positions outside the abnormal area, then the target defect positions can be obtained.

[0101] Exemplarily, the second ratio value is 60% and the target number is 100. Multiply the second ratio value 60% by the target number 100 to obtain the first quantity 60, and then subtract the first quantity 60 from the target number 100 to obtain the second quantity 40. Extract 60 defect positions within the abnormal area and extract 40 defect positions outside the abnormal area. These 60 defect positions and 40 defect positions are both target defect positions, and defects are observed at these 100 target defect positions.

[0102] In one embodiment, under normal circumstances, the defect positions detected by the defect detector may be as shown in Figure 6 Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which is a thickness schematic diagram shown according to an exemplary embodiment. For example, the white squares represent abnormal chips, the black squares represent normal chips, and the gray squares represent chips with different degrees of abnormality. In other embodiments, colors can also be used for different differentiations to present to the user. In this case, all the chips in the abnormal area are detected, and the chips outside the abnormal area are detected at intervals, as shown in Figure 8 . Before dynamically adjusting it, the distribution of some defect positions extracted from multiple defect positions can be as shown in Figure 9 . After being adjusted by the method in this embodiment, the distribution of target defect positions extracted from multiple defect positions can be as shown in Figure 10 .

[0103] In another embodiment, under normal circumstances, the defect positions detected by the defect detector may be as shown in Figure 11 Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 which is another thickness schematic diagram shown according to an exemplary embodiment. For example, the white squares represent abnormal chips, the black squares represent normal chips, and the gray squares represent chips with different degrees of abnormality. In other embodiments, colors can also be used for different differentiations to present to the user. In this case, all the chips in the abnormal area are detected, and the chips outside the abnormal area are detected at intervals, as shown in Figure 13 .
